Hello Po
Don't look at yesterday with regret, look toward tomorrow with hope! This week was crazyyyy, Tuesday we had a devotional and Elder D. Todd Christofferson came and spoke and it was amazing! Some things that stood out to me, 'open our mouth without fear" this stood out to me because I'm nervous and worried that when I try to talk in Talalog I'll say the wrong things. But I know that the spirit is what converts people not my words. Make the gospel simple yet strong. Becoming Christlike is a life long pursuit. I feel like most people think that becoming Christlike is something that should happen in a week, but it's not. Repentance isn't just confessing and forsaking your big sins, it's turning away from everything and becoming Christlike. The Lord is pleased with EVERY effort. When I was in high school I wrote "perfect effort" on my wrist tape. I knew I wouldn't have a perfect game but I knew that if I had perfect effort I'd be able to answer for every play. I know the same is with the mission and life. If we have perfect effort in becoming like Christ then I know we will become better everyday. Expect improvement not perfection. Mistakes are meant to be made.
Had a good week other than that! Elder Horn and Elder Weaver were called to be zone leaders. Crazy but a wonderful experience! Thank you all for your support and love! Be safe! Challenge for the week, read 3 Nephi 13:8 and pray for whatever you need. Diyos (God) know what you need and is waiting to give it to you, so ask in faith and you will receive!
Truth won't change
Faith is power.
Mistakes are stepping stones towards success
-Elder Weaver
Notes with mom....
We are up at 5 this morning do laundry, and I just got down reading the Anklat ni Mormon so hello!
No there was no rush to do laundry he likes getting up early so it's whatever. Week was good, language is slowly but coming but good, it's an amazing language. Old district left Monday and Elder Horn and myself are zone leaders! The new districts are amazing! and yes we got to host, (get elders from parents at the curb), crazy experience but it was so FUN! we are going to the temple around 8 today.
Zone leader responsibilities right now are just welcoming new elders and sisters, and being there for everyone. I did know everyone in that airport picture, it was the old zone so I knew all.
No travel plans yet and nothing said about exchanging money, we usually do service on Wednesday mornings
Singing in sacrament was good, almost everyone cried because last week here for old elders.
Getting a haircut later today, Ill send picture
TRC was good, it's hared to teach what you want when you don't know how to say it but is was good, feeling good. we taught to rms and one sister and one brother
Elder Christofferson was great, I was like 30 feet from him, didn't get to shake hands, spoke about try conversion and a lot of stuff haha, it's hared to focus on only one thing but it was amazing!
I don't know what favorite thing was this week,
We got 7 new elders and 8 sisters, they came with pre-mission language training so they are already past me haha with the language, they got emails on what to do, it wasn't available for me...
Temple was so good! Elder Horn is skyping and then we will eat lunch after, then haircut, gym time and studying
We do the same service projects every week
We are leaving here on the 18th and leave Manila the 27 I think or something like that
Elder Loar says he loves you and I can't think of anything else I need right now, more ties...haha
I am staying warm and sleeping good, yes I am happy!
For language classes we have some teachers in the afternoon and different at night and no I don't go to choir anymore, haha, me and another elder have NAP meetings...haha
I just wanna call while I can because I don't know how it will be in the Philippines
Hair cut is good and yes we played volleyball again for gym time
Hearing from Elder Christofferson was the highlight spiritual experience this week it was amazing and the temple and some lessons, mostly yeah!
I got to greet a couple of elders, just walked them up and took them to their room then dropped them off at their class building
The barbershop here is free, the MTC is super repetitive, but it's good most days, advice would be to love everyone, it's hard not to but if you go out of your way to love and serve it's amazing.
I have written every day in my journal
In sacrament we alternate who will speak, I'll probably talk, we prepare a talk every week and then at sacrament the presidency decides who speaks, I'm not sure what my topic is this week yet, I haven't looked, my favorite hymn is called to serve.
I got the lava lava because I kept asking and he finally gave me one. He is from California, elder Uai (Y)
I hear from Bishop Bridges and Andrew and my famileeee
You know the journal I got with the scriptures at the bottom? Can you please get me two more of those, I feel like I'll fill mine up pretty fast and I like it a lot, thanks
Love you momma, Thanks for everything! I appreciate the prayers and quotes of the week! Thanks for including Burklee! I know this is where God needs me to be!
Love you mom! Mahal Kita nanay!
